True, i really don't like the majority of it... but stuff like New Found Glory.. they are nothing but the best. Pop punk perfection. Kind of like Ludacris, except for they are white boys.
Anyhow, on with the re.

Now, first off, don't get me wrong. There is a lot of pop punk I have soft spots for. True, i really don't like the majority of it... but stuff like New Found Glory.. they are nothing but the best. Pop punk perfection. Kind of like Ludacris, except for they are white boys.

Anyhow, on with the review. So I pop the cd in... and within the first minute I puke. The first thing that struck me about this band is that they are not all cute skinny pretty boys. One of the members is at least 300 . And I totally think that is great. Fight the mold of skinny boys in converse and the next-county-overs little league team shirt. But if you are going to try to break the mold, at least be good.

So yes. Basically, this band is 4 slightly overweight guys singing every single song about girls. Except one, which is about a "Rock Show." That means that indeed there are 15 songs about girls. Way to break the mold. Seriously, I hate to bash on bands because it's a lot of work and dedication - but these lyrics are lyrics I wrote in the 6th grade. Swear to god I could go in my closet and go through it for about an hour and present you with lyrics I wrote in the 6th grade. Although some of the sounds are a tad bit catchy... any of the good that the music made was just smashed by the horrible atrocity that is the lyrics.

Now on the upside, yes, I do have a soft spot for some pop punk, and I did think some of the songs were ok. Some. I liked tracks 6 and 12. They were alright. But yeah, my final thought is that unless you have horrible music taste, save the $13 and buy some beer. Because guaranteed, your night will be a lot more entertaining than with this cd.

dude what is wrong with you people? This cd was awesome, so they sing about girls big deal!!! They are happy fat people sharing the happy.....and occasionally the fat. Do any of you have a sense of humor? And stfu about them being on mtv! Big frickin deal. Over all, this band is awesome, this cd is awesome, and(some) pop punk is awesome.!. But you are right the bass player is usually fat. not the f--kin drummer!!!

The actual playing on this record is good, and there are some decent riffs. But it loses all gained respect by simply saying
"All I wanted was to see her naked" and other such rubbish

I really liked this cd. It is good if you want to listen to lighter music. Most of the songs sound similar but its good for a laugh.

Is anybody else really tired of people coming on here and saying that everything is shit?

"Oh my god! these guys suck so much! They sing songs about girls!! OMG! You can actually HEAR THE lyrics, fucking losers! Are these teh guys on MTV? oh my god, such fucking sellouts! I hate these guys, their music suck balls. Let's listen to more Bad Religion, even though it all sounds exactly the fucking same!!!"

I am sick and fucking tired of everybody hating poppunk, just because "normal" people like poppunk.

All of my friends loved Good Charlotte's first album, but as soon as they heard The Anthem on the radio, suddenly Good Charlotte sucked. If you heard Rancid on the radio, you'd think they sucked. So seriously grow up, who cares? it's just a CD.

And before you go 'you're obvious a 13 year old girl.' I'm not. That won't stop you calling me one, so go ahead.

But seriously what's the big deal? If somebody hears Blink182, Sum41, BowlingForSoup or Good Charlotte on teh radio, buys that album, likes it, then it leads them to buy a rancid album, and that leads to a Descendents album. Really what's so bad about Pop Punk?

And i really don't need a reply to that, so please nobody send another one of those 'Sixteen Reasons Pop Punk Sucks' essays. For craps sake.

Nah, actually I think it was New Found Glory.

i've never heard of this band until the other day when i saw their video.

if you listen to this cd enough, it becomes infectious. you can't help but love this overly-stereotypical pop-punk (or power pop.. what have you) band. uh huh.

Anyone else notice the fat guy takes up part of the other guy's little section on the cover? h0ahehaeha0he0ah

ok so weezer and piebald suck but ultimate fakebook --- NO!!! why put them in that list?

i think i'm the one guy who likesthis album. its pop punk, butmore like power pop.so what if they are pretty popular? their lyrics are funny, and their just a good times band,not tryin to be all serious or anything. this is way better than most pop punk releases of this year, and better than weezer/piebald/ultimate fakebooks new releases (power pop). so fucku. bro.

D4 is sort of pop-punk. i don't know, they throw all sorts of crazy shit in their songs so it's hard to pin them down. sorta like gritty, arty pop-punk with a shred of hardcore and dissonance thrown in for good measure. i fucking love those guys though. their compacted wrecklessness never ceases to amaze. nobody sounds anything like them.

why do people call Dillinger Four pop punk? i never really understood it.

Nothing wrogn with a girl singer, provided the singer is actually a girl. In this (Shitty) band's case, the singer is a guy that sounds like a girl. I remember seeing them open for someone better a year ago. They were horrible to the highest degree. I really wish I hadn't stuck around so long figuring, "HEY! They have a big fat guitarist. They HAVE to have 1 good song"

No luck. They just have a dozen shitty songs that sound like one really long shitty song.

Bowling for Soup.. how did they ever get popular?! Whoever was talking about them having horns in 98 I believe you're mistaking them for Lets Go Bowling because I saw them in 97 with Less Than Jake and The Graduates (two ska bands) and BFS had no horns.

Now on to the review, I will admit they're a fucking horrible band, but you have to give them credit, even thoguh they've sucked all along they have stuck with their style playing small shows and finally made it somewhat 'big.' Probably the most well known band to come out of dallas in the 90s since... Hootie the blowfish? Either way their lead singer is a girl, 2 thumbs down.

Paddy of D4. Now thats a fat bassist and a damn good one. And unfortunetely if youve seen Dillinger Four live then youve seen Paddy half or fully naked. Oh by the way dont buy this. For good pop punk buy Lifetime, Dillinger Four, Decendents, Inspection 12. Theres a few real pop punk bands._-Rock

Havent heard it but on the note about FAT band members, i think it is usually the bassist who takes the cake.

And 22 Jacks had a fat guitarist

This band is horrible period. That guy should get stapled quick.

bassists, in my opinion, are usually the second fattest in the band. or the fattest if they have a really good skinny drummer
